Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel's Avengers, or any of the characters. I only own my OC Elaine Davis.

A/N: Okay so hello guys! ^_^ You guys are probably thinking...another story?! Yes I know I already have a few out there. Which I promise I'll keep updating. It's just I've been reading a lot of Avengers Fan-Fic stories, which most have been involving Pietro with an OC and it made me want to write one of my own. I hope you guys like it! It's going to be my first Avengers Fan-Fic. Fingers cross that I don't suck at it. Anyways, this story takes place after the events of Age of Ultron with the exception that Pietro did not die (obviously) and is alive. Also depending on how well this story does, I do plan on bringing in other Marvel characters into this story like Spider-man, Ant-man, Deadpool, some other characters from the x-men, and etc. Anyways, this first chapter is more like an introduction for my OC Elaine Davis and of her powers. So I'm sorry if its a little boring. The next chapter though will be more interesting. Also, I do plan on making this a Pietro/OC, but expect for some Wanda/OC friendship going on as well. I mean I just can't help it, I need fluff, the Maximoff twins are my weakness! *EEEP* Anywhooo...on with the first chapter! :D

P.S. The face claim for my OC is Malese Jow. (:

Chapter 1: Elaine Davis

By the age of fifteen, Elaine Davis knew her life was no longer going to be the same ever again.

All thanks to a certain drastic event that happened during her teen years. An event that made her so called "superpowers" to come out of hiding.

When this happened it left her feeling stunned and extremely frighten. Especially towards herself, and of what she had done. Or to be more exact, at what she had accidentally done.

Elaine never in a million years would have expected to be X-gene positive. Not even her mom Josie, who Elaine loved with all her heart, imagined this either. Her mom was left just as surprised as her.

Although Elaine did have knowledge about what the X-gene was. In this and age it was no secret that mutants existed in world, along with their special abilities.

In her case however, Elaine could never consider her powers to be special. Never. She saw them more of a curse than a blessing.

Thankfully over the past three years, since the discovery of her powers, she had the fortune of meeting other people who were also X-gene positive. Some of them had remarkable abilities. But much to her sorrow, after witnessing other mutants with almost magical like and surreal powers, it made her feel like she got the short end of the stick. Because her powers were far from being magical.

Even to this day, with her now being eighteen years old, she still believed her that powers should be locked away in a box. Unfortunately for obvious reasons she couldn't do that. Therefore suppressing them is what she did. Refusing to use her powers, unless she absolutely had to. Like in a life or death situation. Even if she did have some what better control of her powers now, with her reaching adult hood, the great aversion she felt towards her abilities made her doubt her strength. Because there was always this feeling in pit of her stomach that made her scared.

Scared that when ever she did use her powers, she wouldn't be able to have full control anymore, and that some one innocent would get hurt because of her. And that was the last thing she wanted to happen...

Elaine always believed her powers caused more harm than good. To herself and to others. Even if she did have a few people tell her in the past that her powers were special and unique, she still didn't have the heart to hear them out. They just didn't fully understand the struggles she went though growing up with controlling her abilities so that she wouldn't end up harming others severely. Because with just a single thought she could have someone falling on the floor withering in excruciating pain. It's happened a few times before, but the very first time it ever occurred was when she fifteen years old. But to be fair, she saw it as self defense.

You see Elaine was never one for physical contact. She shied away from the idea of intimacy. Especially towards the opposite sex. But she remembered a boy, a very rude boy from her high school, who wouldn't stop harassing her. She was reaching her limits with how he was annoying her and one day she lost patience with him. She flat out told him to leave her the hell alone, and that she wasn't interested. But you know what was his response to that? He forced a kiss on her.

It was unexpected, rough, and she hated it.

To have her first kiss be stolen from her? That was just awful. She kept trying to push him off but he had a tight grip on her. One hand was on her shoulder and the other was on her waist. His hold was so tight that she was beginning to feel the bruises that were starting to form. And it was then when he continued to forcefully kiss her that she started getting angry. Anger boiled through her body as she thought about how much she wanted him to feel pain. Immense pain in order to have him get away from her. And no sooner as she thought this the boy stopped his forceful kiss and backed away from her. She remembered how she kept her narrowed gaze on him and saw how he had his head in hands. He was breathing harshly and loudly. She was momentarily startled when she heard him let out a yell as his head was still covered by his hands. Elaine's gaze never faltered. She kept her piercing dark eyes on him and she saw how he fell onto the floor as he started squirming uncontrollably. As he continued to scream in pain, she didn't make a move to help him. She just felt so angry towards him, and that added the fact that she felt like she was in a trance. That was of course until one of the school faculty staff members heard the boys screams and came to his aide. It was then that Elaine finally took her gaze away from said boy, and after that his screams along with his movements stopped completely. Once she was able to compose herself and think things thoroughly, she felt her stomach drop. It was as if she had been a trance full anger and all she wanted to do was make the boy suffer. What freaked her out though was the fact that she probably wouldn't have stopped if it had not been for that school faculty member. Meaning she could have killed the boy...luckily for her that hadn't happen. Although the boy did end up being in a coma for a few weeks. Which didn't really help make her feel better. But at least he survived...even if she still hated him for what he had done to her. The whole thing was just frightening and unnerving to her.

After that incident everyone at school was wary towards her. Even some of the teachers. Although the initial report had been that the boy had a seizure, people still acted skeptical around her. Elaine didn't blame them for how they acted towards her. She never did tell anyone about what really happened, except to her mom. Her mom being the open minded and accepting person she was did not throw her away. Elaine thought for sure she would have thought she was a monster based on what she had done to the boy. But her mother didn't think that. She said it was self defense as well, since Elaine told her that she wanted the boy the stop, but he didn't. Which then led to her fighting him off with her powers. Elaine appreciated her mom being so accepting and her supporting words. It made her wish more people were like mom. Unfortunately not everyone in the world was as supportive and open minded. Except all Elaine truly cared about was her that mother accepted her, and that was all the acceptance she needed. Anyways, after that whole incident with the boy, she tried hiding her powers at first. Although that proved to be way harder than she thought. The reason being was because of her emotions. They played a big factor with her powers, but especially whenever she felt anger.

Causing pain with her mind also wasn't the only power she had. Turns out she was able to transfer it as well, and that power was even harder to focus on too. She figured out she had this ability when she had accidentally cut herself with scissors in her art class. The sound of one of her girl classmates laughing caught her attention. Now Elaine tried to keep calm, but to this point she had enough and her anger came to the surface. She threw a scowl towards the girl as she momentarily touched her injured hand and within a few seconds the very same girl began crying out saying that her hand felt as if it had been cut. When she heard this Elaine quickly looked down towards her hand and saw how it was still bleeding but she noticed how she felt absolutely no pain whatsoever. Her dark brown eyes widen in surprise. It was then she realized she had just transferred her pain onto the girl. The girl looked back towards her in fear. Needless to say after that she longer laughed at Elaine anymore. In fact no one at school did, they were all afraid of her, and that deeply sadden her. She didn't want anybody to fear her...she just wanted them to treat her as they would any other human being.

Causing and transferring pain were just some of the few things she was able to do with her powers. The other abilities she had consisted of pain empathy. Which was the ability to feel if someone is in pain and then there was pain suppression. This was of the only powers she did not mind that much because she was able to tone down any physical pain she was able to feel. But even with that one upside, that still didn't make up for the rest of her powers. Elaine still would have preferred if she had never gotten those dreaded powers in the first place.

Even after she graduated high school, she still felt...what's the word she was looking for? Oh yeah, lost.

Elaine just didn't have an exact idea to what she wanted to do anymore. Before she had the misfortune of gaining her powers, she was interested in getting into a good art school. She herself had always been an artsy type of girl. Which something that she had in common with her father. Art. Since she was a little girl art had always been a passion for her. Painting, drawing, photography. It all just captivated her attention. Sadly her father passed away when she was ten years old because of a car crash. She and her mom were left heart broken after that. But because of her father's passing, Elaine's love for art escalated since it became a way to feel close to her father. Like a sort of memory towards him. When she got her powers though her love for art shook a little. Mostly because she had doubts that she would be able to go back to her normal "Elaine" self again. But for father sake she ended up applying to a couple art colleges and much to her surprise she got in. Her mom Josie was so proud of her and she assured her that her father would of been too.

Therefore, she did have the option to go to college and continue working on her art. Perhaps that was what she was going to do. College...but was that going to work? Granted she's able to have some control of her abilities, but what if she had a slip up? What if she let her emotions get the best of her? What if after that slip up people would look at her like they did in high school? She didn't want that and be the odd one out again. She just wanted people to stop looking at her as if she were going to hurt them. She got enough of that during her last years in high school. But then again she'd never know for sure unless she tried, right?
